NameWidth help requested..

[eriol]

I am an Apache newbie and couldn't find my answer thru the manual, newsgroup or google, so I'm hoping someone here can help..

I want to be able to change my directory index pages to display the NAME column as full length ( * ) instead of cutting filenames off in the middle..

Example: Say I have an mp3 named "The Beatles - Strawberry Fields Forever.mp3".. When I view the directory, under the 'NAME' column, all I see is "The Beatles - Strawbe..>" and then the line leads into the 'LAST MODIFIED' column missing the "rry Fields Forever.mp3" portion of the file name.. When looking thru the manual, I found this:

NameWidth=[n | *] (Apache 1.3.2 and later) The NameWidth keyword allows you to specify the width of the filename column in bytes. If the keyword value is '*', then the column is automatically sized to the length of the longest filename in the display.

Is NameWidth=* the correct format or is it NameWidth=[*]? I tried both, but neither worked after restarting apache and again, I wasn't sure if I had put the line in the correct area of my httpd.conf..

I added this to my httpd.conf (not sure if I had it in the correct <ifmodule> or not), tried to restart and it gave me an error stating &quot;NameWidth&quot; wasn't recognized.. Am I anywhere close? Is this something I need to alter in the /src/modules/standard/mod_autoindex.c file instead? On a similar note, is it possible to customize directory indexes moreso? Such as adding a bgcolor, a company logo to the left of &quot;<H1>Index of /...</H1>&quot;? I wasn't sure where to begin looking with the last question..

I'm at a loss here and any suggestions/input would be appreciated.. TIA.. Oh, and I am running Apache 1.3.22 on Win98..

Take care..
